HP Introduces Innovations Built for the Data Center of the Future
New IT Converged Systems, Converged Storage Accelerate Time to
Market, Reduce Cost, Simplify Building Data Centers for New Style
of IT
BARCELONA, SPAIN--(Marketwired - Dec 9, 2013) - HP (NYSE:
HPQ) today announced new HP ConvergedSystem and HP Converged
Storage offerings that give enterprises the speed, agility and
lower economics to build the next-generation data centers that will
power tomorrow's successful organizations.
Data centers are reaching an unsustainable point -- in the next
five years, the average enterprise will see data capacities grow
more than 800 percent, according to Gartner.(1) Enterprises need to
be able to manage this exponential growth in data while introducing
new applications, such as big data and analytics, using delivery
models such as virtualized infrastructure and the cloud. Yet,
enterprise innovation is constrained by the complexities of
outdated IT. Organizations must optimize and modernize to deliver a
New Style of IT that accelerates revenue generation, drives
innovation and reduces business risk, while at the same time
reducing overall costs.
HP understands what's needed in the data center of the future,
and is eliminating IT complexity through its innovations in the new
HP ConvergedSystem portfolio -- a family of integrated IT systems
purpose-built for key workloads such as virtualization, big data
and hosted desktops. The new HP ConvergedSystem products deliver a
total systems experience that dramatically simplifies IT, enabling
clients to go from order to operations in as few as 20 days. With
quick deployment, intuitive management and system-level support, IT
organizations can shift their focus from systems integration to
delivering the applications that power their business.
HP also is introducing new solutions that provide the simplest,
fastest way to deliver and manage data. These include HP Converged
Storage innovations to restore business productivity at record
speed, significantly reduce the cost of flash-optimized application
performance to generate faster business returns, and simplify
application mobility from public to private clouds to deliver
secure service levels.
"The next generation of CIOs and CTOs will be at the center
of their organization's business strategy and relied upon to drive
growth, accelerate innovation and manage risk," said Bill Veghte,
executive vice president and general manager, Enterprise Group,
HP. "HP ConvergedSystem and HP Converged Storage offerings
enable our customers to use technology to deliver business outcomes
that drive their success, by creating an agile pool of resources
that can deploy quickly, accelerate results and transform an
organization's most valuable asset -- its data -- into actionable
competitive insight."
HP ConvergedSystem delivers fastest, easiest, lowest cost path
to virtualization As IT organizations transform to become more
agile, reduce costs and drive greater innovation, they are
increasingly turning to integrated systems that minimize resources
spent architecting and refining solutions. IDC projects that the
market for converged systems will grow more than three times faster
than the growth of spend on traditional infrastructure.(2)
HP ConvergedSystem is a new product line engineered from the
ground up based on 21st-century assets and architectures for the
New Style of IT. Built using HP Converged Infrastructure's
best-in-class servers, storage, networking, software and services,
the new HP ConvergedSystem family of products deliver a total
systems experience "out of the box."

software. HP also offers consulting capabilities to plan, design
and integrate HP ConvergedSystem offerings into broader cloud, big
data and virtualization solutions, while mapping physical and
